Hi everyone!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year's celebration!! I am so looking forward to 2016!! Soon after my birthday February 6th, I will have my mammoplasty!! Double yeahs!! Oh, and in less than 3 weeks, i'll be back in school-- getting an associate's degree in LGBT studies. Wow, my future sounds bright... There is one snag-- I have very few friends here in San Francisco. I've been here since 2010. In 2012, I entered the skilled nursing facility called Laguna Honda. I weighed less than 90lbs. and was eventually diagnosed with a very rare disease called Avascular Necrosis-- a progressive, degenerate bone disease that, left untreated, leads to bone death. And it's very painful. I spent 2 1/3 years at Laguna. Since I've gotten out, I've tried to make friends. To cut to the chase, I will be spending New Years alone. I do not feel welcomed in the trans community here in San Francisco. In fact, I feel ostracized. Am I Asking so much? And ya know something else? I used to walk. I used to walk until 2012. Now I get around in a motorized electric chair? Is it too much to ask for friends?
